Quaint Cornish living and refined elegance come together in this stunning home. It’s in a wonderful location in beautiful Padstow, and has been recently redesigned to guarantee that guests have the most luxurious stay possible – it ticks every box. 

The house is just a seven-minute walk from the centre of Padstow and its pretty, characterful harbour. Perhaps you’ll stroll into town first thing for breakfast in one of the many cafes and restaurants, before making your way to the beach. Lower Beach is our favourite, and it’s just an eighteen-minute walk from the house. Take along your bucket and spade and make memories in this most picturesque part of the UK. 

When you make your way back to the house, sun-kissed and sandy, fire up the barbecue. Spend your evening in the garden, admiring the views of the Camel Estuary and watching the sun slowly set. The garden is the jewel in the crown of this lovely home, with comfortable seating and bi-folding doors than can be opened wide to give the living space a holiday feel.

Arriving at Slates By The Shore, you might not be expecting the good-looking cottage that awaits behind the front door. You'll be struck by its swanky style, a mix of authentic stone walls and flooring with the centrepiece of a modern spiral staircase. Put your feet to good use and explore the town of Padstow and, venturing further, take to the Camel Trail, an eighteen-mile hiking (or cycling) trail that takes you through glorious coastal scenery. Back in Padstow, speedboat rides, cobbled souvenir shops, and a good old serving of fish and chips await.

Nice to haves

Tucked away in the charming streets of Padstow, this laid-back cottage blends a youthful personality with rustic roots. That's why wooden beams, flagstone floors and crates repurposed as tables rub shoulders with industrial-chic lighting, comfy furnishings in bold colours and dazzlingly white bathrooms complete with rainfall showers. 

After a long day by the seaside, put your feet up in front of the log burner with a good book and a glass of wine in hand. We also liked the large blue kitchen, where you can cook up a storm when you're feeling peckish – the pendant lights hanging above the island are actually made from old kilner jars – as well as the bedrooms with their antique French beds, which will add a sense of occasion to your nightly routine. 

Although the local neighbourhood feels residential, the town's lively harbour and the surrounding cafes, gourmet restaurants and seaside pubs can be reached in under five minutes on foot. There's no shortage of beautiful beaches in North Cornwall either, with St George’s Cove a twenty-minute trek along the South West Coast Path and Hawker's Cove an eleven-minute drive away. All in all, it's a great place to call home on your Cornish getaway.

Padstow is one of Cornwall's most famous towns, and this home is in the perfect position for exploring it. A five-minute walk away from the harbour, the home is the right size for a family or small group of friends planning to decamp to this sought-after postcode. In warmer months, the house's two terraces have got 'alfresco drinks' written all over them – indulge in some people-watching from the front patio, or soak up the rays in the south-facing back garden. The fenced-in garden also has a barbecue for cooking up a feast, though the kitchen has plenty of equipment if the weather isn't playing ball. Wooden floorboards and old fireplaces hint at the home's history, with cosy touches such as deep sofas and throws in the lounge for keeping warm come the evening. You could spend days admiring the boats floating in the harbour and eating freshly-caught seafood in the local restaurants, and there are also plenty of coastal walks and sandy beaches to explore close by. This is seaside living at its very best.

In the popular foodie town of Padstow – famous for its incredible seafood – this family home is perfectly positioned with views over the estuary and has excellent access to shops, pubs and the beach. 

Gather around the bar for a cooked English breakfast – bacon and eggs anyone? Grab your surfboards and bikes from the summer house (where there is plenty of storage space) and get ready for a day of action, riding Padstow’s beginner-friendly waves or cycling the Camel Trail. Return to tea and scones outside on the patio or, if the weather is being less kind, a quiet cup of coffee and a book by the wood-burning fireplace. 

Furnished with contemporary designs throughout, this homely spot not only ensures convenience but utmost comfort and practicality too. It presents an idyllic spot for a small group of friends or a family looking to explore the laid-back lifestyle of the stunning Cornish coastline.

When browsing for holiday lets, one often has to sacrifice living space for proximity to attractions. Not with this three-bed, six-person apartment in the well-known Cornish fishing town of Padstow. Just a minute’s walk from the harbour, and Rick Stein’s world famous fish and chips, it also has generous living rooms, a large patio garden and ample parking. Other highlights include a spa bath, 65” smart TV with Bluetooth speakers and modern furniture which gives the whole space a fresh, clean feel. Take a short foot ferry across to Rock for great beaches and more great seafood restaurants - or bring the catch of the day home for home-cooking.

The Blue Sandpiper

With its harbour views and stylish interiors, this cottage in the heart of Padstow is the ideal base for those looking to escape to the Cornish coast. Pull open the living room’s windows to breathe in the salty air, perfumed with the smell of freshly baked bread from the local bakeries just outside. You’ll love kicking back on the sea-blue sectional with a glass of wine while revelling in the breeze or tucking into an order of fish and chips at the modern kitchen’s wooden dining table. With two comfortable bedrooms giving way to equally charming views as well as a sleek bathroom boasting a thermostatic rainfall shower, you’re sure to find your holiday bliss in this charming home. When you’re not out exploring Padstow’s bustling sights, head for the sands at St George's Cove (a fifteen-minute walk away) or take the ferry to Rock Beach (sixteen minutes away). Alternatively, rent a bike from the Trail Bike Hire (a seven-minute walk) to explore the scenic Camel Trail, eight minutes on foot from your door. 


Sailor's Delight

Balcony

A big family home in the ever-popular town of Padstow, this place has plenty of wow factors – from rare private parking to stunning views across the River Camel estuary. Set on a slope, its three floors make the most of its position with views getting better and better at the top of the house. Inside, it's a tasteful blend of period features and contemporary styling, with a subtle nod towards its coastal location in its palette of whites, greys and blues. The Edwardian home has been thoroughly updated to provide a perfect spot for a large family getaway. There are two living rooms to choose from (one for the youngsters to hang out in, perhaps?) and a big kitchen diner with an Aga and everything you'll need to cook on night's in. We particularly love the big bedroom on the top floor, with its panoramic estuary views all the way across to Rock, and the semi-covered patio at the back where you can barbecue on sunny afternoons. The garden goes up in steps from the house, finally reaching a raised deck with a dining table and chairs – the ideal place to enjoy the sunshine and that famous view. Just minutes away on foot, Padstow's beautiful harbour and legendary dining scene offer all sorts of options, and it's just a short hike along the coast to the nearest beach. Or catch the foot ferry and paddle in the clear waters at Rock.  

Rock Eye

Sophisticated navy and pretty powder blues replace the searing shades of beach umbrellas, and there’s no mistaking that magnificent stone fireplace and wood-burning stove as anything close to tacky. Right in the heart of Cornwall’s Padstow, we think this Grade II listed home would be a welcome oasis of calm and tranquility for any getaway. Return from a long day on the beach to relax in the sunny garden or sink into one of the sumptuous velvet couches, before heading out again for dinner in one of the many acclaimed restaurants nearby.

La La Lilypad

From Poldark to Daphne du Maurier and Rosamund Pilcher, Cornwall has been the setting for many romantic brooding novels about passionate hearts and secret loves. Now, you can have your own Cornish romance in this charming cottage, a fifteen-minute walk from Padstow. Glorious sandy beaches surround this town, and it's known for fishing and the high-end restaurants of celebrity chefs Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth too.

Back at this home, whip up a Cornish cream tea in the modern kitchen with its metro tiles and breakfast bar and enjoy it at one of two outdoor tables (at the front or back) – our favourite is the front garden with its lawn and drystone wall. This lovely cottage is the perfect retreat for two.


A Cornish Romance

Known for its sparkling harbour, Rock ferry and critically adored fish and chips, Padstow is one of Cornwall's most sought-after villages – and this period townhouse is the perfect spot to explore it from. Just half a mile to the beach and surrounded by traditional British pubs, gourmet restaurants and shops, everything is well within reach here. Awarded a stunning face-lift by a restoration project early in 2018, the modern interiors come as a pleasant surprise. Stepping into the living room you'll notice many of the home's original features from the intricate fireplace, high ceilings and wooden flooring – but move into the kitchen and be struck by the sleek white cooking island, pristine tiled flooring and the sociable open-plan layout. From the dramatic spotlighting to a glass-topped dining table, this home will have you relaxing in style. Outside, the spot's pretty terrace calls out for alfresco drinks in the sunshine. In warmer months, fire up the barbecue and wait for the meat to sizzle with a nice glass of wine in the fresh ocean air. On chillier evenings, stroll into town for pub grub and sundown walks along the seafront. 

The Port Of Call

Invite all the family or your favourite friends to join you at this large property in a popular Cornish town. With six bedrooms able to accommodate up to twelve guests, this is an ideal home for large groups hoping to enjoy lavish dinners in the beautiful sunny courtyard, or embark on quaint evening strolls along the beautiful Padstow Town Harbour. 
Situated within walking distance of revered restaurants hosted by the likes of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth, there are myriad choices for an evening out. If a lazy evening in takes your fancy, however, be sure to make use of the comfortable, open living spaces complete with TVs and games consoles to keep guests entertained.
